How to Open an Exness Account — Step-by-Step Guide

Opening an Exness account takes less than 5 minutes. You need a valid email address and phone number to start. Full verification (KYC) is required before withdrawing but not before trading on a demo account.

Step-by-Step Guide

1
Go to Exness and click Register

Visit Exness.com and click the "Open Account" or "Register" button. You will be asked for your country of residence and email address. Use your real country — this determines which regulatory entity covers your account.

2
Enter your personal details

Fill in your full legal name, date of birth, phone number, and residential address. These must match your government ID exactly — mismatches will delay verification. Set a strong password for your Personal Area.

3
Verify your email and phone

Check your email for a verification link and enter the SMS code sent to your phone. Both must be verified before you can proceed. This usually takes under 2 minutes.

4
Complete your profile in Personal Area

Log in to your Exness Personal Area. Complete your profile by answering questions about your trading experience and employment status. This is a regulatory requirement (KYC/AML) and takes 2–3 minutes.

5
Create your first trading account

Go to "My Accounts" → "Open New Account". Choose your account type (Standard for beginners, Raw Spread for scalpers, Pro for experienced traders). Select your base currency (USD recommended for GCC/Asia clients) and set your account leverage.

6
Verify your identity (KYC)

Upload a government-issued photo ID (passport or national ID card) and a proof of address (bank statement or utility bill less than 6 months old). Exness typically verifies documents within 1 business day. You can deposit and trade before verification is complete, but cannot withdraw until approved.

7
Make your first deposit

Go to "Deposit" in your Personal Area. Choose your payment method — bank card, bank transfer, e-wallet (Skrill, Neteller), or cryptocurrency (USDT, Bitcoin). The minimum deposit on Standard accounts is $10. Most payment methods are instant.

Pro Tips

  • Use the same name and address on all documents as on your bank account to avoid withdrawal issues.
  • UAE clients: select UAE as residence — you'll be under a favorable regulatory entity with access to unlimited leverage.
  • You can open a free demo account immediately without any verification.
